V, about getting him, to remove re-move the grade of that road 40 rods west, and Mr, Kerr was now correspon-ning correspon-ning with the Attorney of the road about the matter. They had also priced the land along second west street and found the people were holding their properly high since they expected the railroad to come. The report was accepted and the committee retained: On motion of Rasmus Clawson.second west stieet was selected as the one on Winch to locate the K. G. W. road, and it was decided to instruct the city conn cit to giant right of way there, and to requite re-quite the company to pass 011 the west side- ot the cemetery and run parallel to and adjoining the S.

Ne.lson arrived in Ephraim Eph-raim vesteiday in company with Mr, Babcock of the R. G. W . Mr. Nei ton made the Rbgistkr office a trietidlv call, and informed us that t o camps of graders gra-ders weie at work on this side of Fa.r view, and others wefe to be put on and immediately. One party of surveyen are located south of Fs.rview covering nine miles, where tbey will stay until the grade is completed, another set are located nine tniles this side again, alinos t reaching Ephraim. The track is being laid at the rate of half a mile a day. At Fairview some of the people are asking the road extortionate prices f t right of way, so the company say, from 100 10500 per cent.above value. T 1 is is wrong, if coirect, and some of theft parties may jet find themselves left, as die road has a right to force the right of way if too much is asked for land, and settle bv arbitration, in this event they are likely to get nothing; as a law suit generally takes the cream out ot any civil transaction. Swen and Lars Neilson have Just received re-ceived the largest stock of goods they have ever carried in their store. There are tour saw mills In Fairview doing a rushing business. The lumber is shipped to Provo and Salt Lake, Last vear one of their mills cut over 1,000,000 feet of lumber. The company R.R expect to he tn Fair-view Fair-view by ihe latter part of October. The rails are laid about 3 miles up Thistle canyon. |
